Well…. now what?

The incident supposedly occurred when the couple was having a walk with their two-year-old son, WCHS reports.
During the unspecified domestic dispute between the two, the former Glee star, who was awarded the title of the “World’s Sexiest Woman” in 2011, hit Dorsey in the head and on the bottom lip.

In a brief speech to the court, Rivera stated that she will to hire an attorney to represent her in the upcoming hearing.
Domestic battery charges may result in a maximum of a year in prison and a fine of up to $500.

Naya Rivera is an abuser and should not be seen as less of one just because she’s female. Gender does not change the definition of abuse.

I’m actually so glad that people are talking about Naya Rivera and what she’s done. Men being abused is so taboo to talk about when it shouldn’t be. They deserve justice too.
